Mission Statement

Santa Teresita School, a Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, is administered by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose and serves the community of Boyle Heights. The school collaborates with parents to provide a Christian and academic education for their children by providing a nurturing learning environment rooted in Gospel values.

Philosophy

Belief in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ are the cornerstones of Santa Teresita School and the community it serves. We believe in the importance of developing our partnership with the parents, who are the primary educators of their children. We believe that our school should promote the full development of the student’s character and academic potential. Therefore, we wish to provide a nurturing environment to meet the needs of our individual students.
